Authors Note: I wrote this after I came out and things didn't go as we'll. I ended up during myself and when I snapped out of the state I was in, I panicked and realized "Oh God, why did I do this? Oh no!"
Everything went downhill from that point on for a while but things have got better. That's why this poem is jumbled and you'll we why in the third stanza which after reading this, I realized this is somewhat bad in a way.

Oh no, what's this? It looks like I'm bleeding
Or maybe maybe I'm just dreaming?
Because this is how it seems
In the face of reality.

Look higher, no, higher
And it looks like you're on the ground.
If you really take a look a look around,
You'll see you're falling down.

Want to fall faster? Make your life a disaster!
After tumbling out of the closet,
Pick up the blade!
I could be gone today and some people would say yay.

A tiger must earn her stripes somehow,
And that's how I earned mine.
